According to ABC News, Brazilian police say that “one of the swimmers was seen on CCTV footage breaking down the door to the bathroom at the gas station and fighting with a security guard” on the night of the alleged incident.

The Daily Mail reported Thursday, citing a confidential source, that Lochte, Jack Conger, Gunnar Bentz and Jimmy Feigen were, in fact, the instigators of the alleged incident, which occurred early Sunday morning.

The source said the swimmers destroyed a toilet at the gas station and refused to pay for the damages until an on-site security guard pointed a gun at them.

“They stopped at a gas station and they were all really drunk,” the source said. “They went to the toilet and damaged it pretty badly.”

“The security guy saw them and started arguing with them — telling them they had to pay. They refused and argued back,” the source added. “He pointed his gun at them and insisted they pay for the damage — they gave him some money and left.”

On Wednesday, a Brazilian judge ordered the passports of Lochte and Feigen be seized as the police continued their investigation. At the time, Feigen was still in the country, but Lochte had already returned to the U.S.

According to ESPN, Brazilian authorities went to the Olympic village on Wednesday to seize the passports but the U.S. swimming delegation had already left.

Brazilian authorities were, however, able to detain Conger and Bentz after they pulled the pair off a flight bound for the U.S. Wednesday evening. Brazilian officials said they detained the duo to further question them about the alleged robbery, later releasing them on the condition that they would meet with police on Thursday.

U.S. Olympic Committee spokesman Patrick Sandusky also confirmed that Feigen has been in contact with authorities and will be joining teammates Conger and Bentz during their interview with police on Thursday.

“The three U.S. Olympic swimmers are cooperating with authorities and in the process of scheduling a time and place today to provide further statements to the Brazilian authorities,” Sandusky said, according to the Daily Mail.
